I'm Back!

Did everyone think I wasn't coming back? Well I think I am starting to understand how to juggle teaching and life.

Anyway... Last night was Stitch and Bitch's anual Christmas dinner/party. Me and my mom stitched Shepherd's Bush, Holly Night for Sally. My Secret Santa was Pat and I was her secret Santa! I made her 4 praire schooler strawberry christmas ornament. She made me a scarf I don't know the correct name for it, it is connected, cow neck? It is knitted and is a basket weave. It is absolutely beautiful! Here is the picture...

I know everyone is wondering if I have been stitching since my last post, we won't talk about how long ago that was, but I have! I don't have a picture of Holly Night by Shepherd's Bush. :( I think Sally might have it on her blog (salty yarns) in a few days. I have been working on Bent Creek, The Christmas Mantle.
I also have been working on Shepherd's Bush, Here We Go A Haunting.
In October I went to Salty Yarns annual Jamboree, I also have worked on some class pieces but haven't got any of them done yet.

Also, Jennifer taught me how to knit! I am so excited about that. Next post I will post a picture of what I have done on the scarf that I am working on.

Thank you to all of the people who ask about my blog!

Tata,

I am a professional!

Long time no blog!!! I want to let everyone know that I received a Second grade job position!! Woohooo!!! I am happy but very overwhelmed. I have been so busy with meetings, my classroom, and waiting tables!!! I also bought a new computer and it won't load my pictures on here so I will have to post them from another computer hopefully in a couple of days. Before I received a job I started working on Christmas gifts, so I wont be able to share them but I also have a couple of other things that I am working on every once in a while.

Tata for now!

Done!

I have completed Country Cottage, Seascapes series. Completed on 28 count Sapphire linen. I am so happy to have this completed.On the house front... The roof is completed! Woohoo! There was a huge mishap though. While they were constructing the new A frame it decided to rain about four inches! So it destroyed our bedroom. The good news about that is that the room is going to be completely gutted and re-done. The bad news is that it wasn't going to be next well now it is next starting next week. We have also almost completed the spare room. I will post pictures as soon as its done.

Construction Zone

I started collecting the Little House Needleworks, Christmas Ornaments. I decided that I wanted to stitch them over one instead of two. I am using thirty count which it calls for, but I have changed some of the colors. I started "Snowy Pines" (below)
I have also been working on Country Cottage, Summer Seascapes series. I just finished Chart four and I am waiting for the last chart to come out so it will be completed. The picture below is of the fourth chart.
As most people know our house has been under construction. At the beggining of this week Jon and my dad and his crew started on the roof which is a huge project! First off, there was thre layers of shingles and then cedar shakes. So all of that had to come off then they had to put ply wood on it. Also, we are getting an A frame on the addition side of our house so this is just a huge mess! The side that doesn't have the addition is done! So that side has been cleaned up but the other side is a different story, it looks like our roof threw up all over our yard. But hopefully (finger's crosses) it will be done by Monday. I have high hopes! :)
Tata for now!

I am backwards...

Let me explain... I live on a torsist driven island that rolls up their sidewalks in the winter. So it seems that in the winter is always when I have more time to blog and vacation. While everyone else in the world goes on vacation in the summer and stays indoors. I wish that I could but I wait tables at least five nights a week and our kitchen is usually over a hundred degrees on a good day. These past couple of weeks have been unbearable in our kitchen. Im looking forward to this cold front that is supposed to get here later tonight.
Anyway... This is my second post in one week! Looks like my goal for July has started early! As I stated in my last post, I have been working on part 1 of the Drawn Thread ABC Sampler. Well it is completed, now I need part 2!
Im off to sit on the couch in my nice air conditioned living room to stitch on Country Cottage Series before I have to go to work.

Winter Yet?

Everyone seems to blog a lot during summer, its like the summer olympics and I am left out. Blogging is usually my sport during the winter. I find a lot more time. Im kind of upset that I haven't been able to blog as much so far this summer. My goal for July is to post at least once a week. Wish me luck!
Enough with my rant, here is an update picture on Country Cottage, Seascapes Series. This is the forth chart in the series and ther is only one left, which isn't out yet.
Tonight I have been working on Drawn Thread's, ABC Sampler. I will hopefully post those pictures later this week. Tata for now I hope everyone has had a Happy Sunday!
